NARCISSUS POLYANTHUS, or nosegay daffodils. 
The Polyanthus Narcissi or Nosegay Daffodils 
produce large heads of sweet-scented flowers, and are 
specially adapted for Winter and Spring decoration in pots 
and jardinets, etc. The culture is the same as for Hyacinths. 
For flower beds and mixed borders they are great favourites, 
and produce a charming effect. Plant from September to 
November, and at the approach of winter give a light 
covering of long litter or other material to keep off severe 
frosts ; remove the covering in March. The earlier plant- 
ings give the best results. 
Where flowers are in demand from November to January, 
the Paper White “Early Snowflake” and Double 
Roman Narcissi are of great value for forcing with the 
Roman Hyacinths; they are all suitable for growing in 
Bowls in Fibre Mixture (see Culture , page 3). 
The numbers following the names indicate the rela- 
tive time of flowering': thus, those marked (1) are the earliest 
to bloom, and those marked (4) the latest.

NARCISSUS POETAZ. 
NEW LARGE-FLOWERED HYBRID POLYANTHUS NARCISSI. 
(Hybrids of Polyanthus Narcissi x Narcissus poeticus ornatus.) 
A very decorative new class of Nosegay Daffodils or Polyanthus Narcissi, the result of crossing 
Narcissus poeticus ornatus with the best varieties of Polyanthus Narcissi. They grow taller, with a 
less still' habit, and a looser bead of flowers, which are larger and more elegantly formed. They also have 
tlie merit of being much hardier. Besides being good border plants they are valuable for culture in pots 
and jardinets, and will bear gentle forcing. The flowers of these new Narcissi are all delightfully 
fragrant, and will be prized for vases and bouquets.
